Donations to our Church

Our church does not receive any income from the Church of England nor from the government. We rely on the generosity of our regular members and of the local community in order to keep Darfield All Saints going. Our church building is very old and very beautiful, but also very expensive to maintain. All donations, however small, are greatly appreciated.

If you would like to help, you can do so in the following ways –

make a one-off gift

set up a standing order to make a regular gift from your bank account

consider leaving a gift in your will

To learn more about any of the above please ask the Rector, Rev. David Hildred. Click here to email.

Alternatively you can send a cheque, made payable to Darfield All Saints Church, to The Rectory, Church Street, Darfield, Barnsley S73 9JX.

Transcribers needed

We are starting on an exciting new project to create a Burial Ground Management System with the help of Atlantic Geomatics Ltd. Atlantic Geomatics have already created an accurate plan of our churchyard including all headstones and trees. We have now photographed all our burial registers and uploaded them onto the new system. The next action is to transcribe these burial registers into the system so that details can then be matched up headstones and a search facility created. Further enhancements would then follow.

So....we are now need volunteers to transcribe the burial registers. We already have a number of willing volunteers but can always use more. The work can be done anywhere and by anyone so long as they have access to the internet and the ability to type in details. The photographs of the burial register come up on screen together with the boxes to be completed for transcribing. Even if you are reading this in Australia you can still join in.
